REBEOOA KERSHNER, OF ANSONIA, OHIO.

SPRING-PILLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming Be it known that I, REBEOOA KERSHNER, a citizen of the. United States, residing at Ansonia, in the county of Darke and State of- Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Spring-Pillows; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification. and in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved spring-pillow, and Fig. 2 is a sectional view through one corner of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

My invention has relation to spring-pillows and it consists in the improved construction of the same, as hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings,A is a frame, which consists of four metallic rods, the ends of which are inserted into tube-connections B, which are bent at right angles,forming the corners of the frame. 7 Inside of the tubes -B are arranged springs O, the outer ends of which bear against the frame-rods A, so that the frame may be compressed endwise and sidewise by forcing the ends of the frame-rods into their respective corner-pieces or tubular connections B.

part 'of Letters Patent No. 283,616, dated August 21, 1883. Applicationfilcd April 25,1883. (No modelii l as shown in the drawings. A larger or smaller number of the springs may be used, according to the size and stiffness of the pillow and in order to compensate for the-expansion or compression of the frame, the cords E, where they are connected to the frame, should be provided with rubbers or elastic bands F, which will contract or expand in the same proportion as the frame is being expanded or contracted. the pillow will yield not only on its surface, as an ordinary pillow, but that it will also yield or give endwise and sidewise, so that it may be readily fitted in place.

Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States 1. The combination, in a spring-pillow, of the frame-rods A, tubular corner-pieces B, having springs G, coiled springs D, and connecting-cords E, all constructed and combined "substantially as and for the purpose shown and set forth.

2. The combination, in a spring-pillow, of the frame-rods A, tubular corner-pieces B, having springs C, coiled springs D, and connecting cords or wires E, having elastic ends F, connecting them to the frame, all constructed and combined substantially as and for the purpose shown and set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
